Biography
Samuele Laino was born in New York City, New York in 1976, and he joined the Pegorino crime family as an enforcer. Laino worked for Ray Boccino, the boss of the Manhattan crew of the Pegorino family, and he was an expert in torture. In 2008, he was ordered to torture captured Lost MC biker Jim Fitzgerald in the basement of Drusilla's Restaurant in Little Italy, as Boccino wanted to discover the location of the diamonds that The Lost MC president Johnny Klebitz had stolen from a diamond deal at the Natural History Museum. Laino used a blowtorch to torture Fitzgerald, but Fitzgerald cut himself free as Boccino and Laino focused on subduing Klebitz after he was captured, and Fitzgerald held the knife to Laino's throat as he left the basement. Boccino attempted to kill them before they could flee, only for Fitzgerald to cut Laino's throat and flee upstairs. Boccino sent Niko Bellic after Fitzgerald and some hitmen after Klebitz, enraged by Laino's death.
